parallelus, which seldom reaches 24 inches, has a squarish-shaped body covered with scales that are smaller than those on the common snook. In Florida waters, it may grow to 48 inches and 38 pounds. The common snook is the largest and most common and is the species caught by most anglers.The majority of anglers pronounce the name as 'snook' (like took), but in parts of south Florida, it is pronounced 'snuke' (like fluke). The word 'snook' comes from the Dutch word 'snoek,' meaning pike. Anglers call the common snook many names, but the two most common are robalo and linesider. The common snook, Centropomus undecimalis, is one of Florida's most popular inshore game fish because of its spectacular fighting ability and merit as table fare.

The museum is open during fair week daily. This is good old-fashioned fun for the whole family. Often during Fair week a local blacksmith will be using a coal fired forge on the porch of the Museum.Ĭhildren and adults will be entertained and educated by the memorabilia artifacts and farm folks who make you feel at home. Fairgoers are invited to shell corn and grind it into cornmeal on an antique sheller/grinder. Daily interactive demonstrations and discussions include weaving, spinning, lace making, gardening hints, woodcarving, and a local wheelwright. Play checkers, cool down with ice cold milk, or chat with one of the honest to goodness farmers who are always on hand.

The museum features a comprehensive collection of antique farm tools from the turn of the 20th century, including several interactive exhibits.

Since then, it has been operated by the members of the Sussex County Agricultural Society. The Snook Agricultural Museum is a must-see for all who want to keep the “farm” in the Farm and Horse Show. This important component of the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show was built as a memorial to Lafayette farmer and agricultural leader, Jack Snook. Since 1983, the Sussex County Agricultural Society has operated the Snook Agriculture Museum.
